  • Patent number: 9413360
    Abstract: An oscillation module includes a frequency generator, a signal calibrator, a multiplexer, and a controller. The oscillation module is calibrated by using calibration parameters and a control instruction of which the frequency and phase are the same as the oscillation frequency signal generated by the frequency generator. As a consequence, an electronic pin used for processing asynchronous signals can be saved so as to reduce the chip area of the oscillation module.

    Abstract: A fabrication method for a system-on-chip (SoC) module is provided. The fabrication method includes the steps of providing at least two SoC sub-modules and connecting the SoC sub-modules. The SoC sub-modules are electrically connected with each other by connection interfaces of the SoC sub-modules so as to form the SoC module. As the SoC sub-modules have been verified in advance, the time required for verifying the resulting SoC module can be significantly reduced. As for application-specific SoC modules, they are fabricated by connecting with application-specific SoC sub-modules via the appropriate connection interfaces. Thus, the time and costs for developing SoC modules can both be minimized.
